Description
Transcribe audio and video files in a blink, automatically, all offline, and with highly accurate results. AI Transcription uses OpenAI’s Whisper technology and Apple Speech Recognition to convert speech (like in podcasts, presentations, lectures, or voice messages) into text and subtitles.
Features
• AI-powered audio-to-text converter
• Just drag & drop: Transcription starts automatically
• Supercharged by OpenAI’s Whisper and Apple Speech Recognition
• Privacy by Design: Your audio never leaves your Mac. Everything is computed on-device, all offline.
• User-friendly, lightweight design, yet powerful
• Export transcriptions as plain text, CSV, SRT, and WEBVTT files
• Timing: Split segments by words, sentences, duration
• Supports input formats like MP3, WAV, CAF, AIFC, M4A, MP4
This app wouldn’t be possible without the work of Georgi Gerganov an his excellent port of OpenAI’s Whisper model in C/C++ (whisper.ccp)

Ratings and Reviews
It handles Cantonese, Mandarin and Japanese!
The accuracy rate I would say only 70-80%.
I wish it has build-in manual correction. I doubt it can have self-learning to increae the accuracy. I also wish it has better way to handle batch processing such as auto export the SRT files to the previous saved folder or the same folder as the input file's location. Always default to the Desktop folder is a kind of annoying. Anyway, it is still a good tool.
Exceptional Transcription App
Now that this app has been updated with OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition, the app really shines. It's fast, fairly accurate, and can create various file types for you (TXT, CSV, SRT, and VTT).
I do wish it had better batch options like automatically saving transcription files in a predetermined location and a 'Watch Folder' option to automatically begin transcription of files found in a folder.
Great work, keep the updates coming.
Developer Response ,
Your words really make me happy! 🤗 Love your idea of a “Watched Folder” and a predetermined export location — will see how I can build this! All the best, Martin
The perfect soulution to all my problems.
I was searching high and low for a quick and accurate transcriber for taking meeting notes. Every app I tried was subscription based! For a one time, flat $10 fee, this software has improved my productivity tenfold!! The text requires some editing, which I don't mind at all.
10/10 if you've been thinking about getting this app, do it. It's a life/time saver.
